Cardiff's midfield sensation set to leave
TOP GUNS HUNT RAMBO
LIVERPOOL, Arsenal and Manchester United are locked in a £5million battle to sign Cardiff teenager Aaron Ramsey (right).
All three Premier League giants have made written bids for the 17-year-old midfield sensation, who is set to leave Ninian Park within the next 48 hours.
Ramsey, known as Rambo by the fans, did not make a first-team start until January.
But a dazzling performance as sub in last month's FA Cup Final confirmed his huge potential.
Arsenal and United have imposed a £5m ceiling on their offers but City will demand the bulk of the cash up front.
A Ninian Park insider said: "United have the advantage because Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson will allow Ramsey to spend next season on loan at Cardiff."
£5m for Ramsey is a joke. Bale and Walcott went for £10m so £5m should be the downpayment with at least another £5m in add ons and some loan players in return. Particularly with the new 6+5 rule it should inflate his fee even more, though he is that good that he should be going for £10m purely on talent. He's been compared to Gerard but he seems more like a Pires with defensive ability to me.
